What does it truly mean to be saved—and who actually does the work? In Episode 114 of the Legacy Bible Podcast, we explore the powerful, life-changing work of the Holy Spirit in the believer.

From the washing of regeneration to the miracle of new birth, and the unbreakable seal that secures us for eternity, this message unpacks the depth of God’s grace.
